This major tourist attraction opened its gates to visitors after undergoing a remarkable restoration.

The Grade II listed walled garden in Redcar was closed for more than 30 years and the plan to restore it to its former glory started in 2015 when Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council drew up a masterplan to regenerate it.

The historic attraction has now been fully restored and features formal gardens, a science garden, areas for activities and a glasshouse, along with a café, a shop and a 350-seat pavilion, which is available for events such as weddings, dinners and corporate events.

The café serves produce grown locally, home-baked favourites, hot meals, and hot and cold beverages.

There is also a garden shop open all year round, with a seasonally-changing stock of garden-grown produce and plants, local craft and specialised gardening goods and books.

The project was funded by the Tees Valley Combined Authority, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Coastal Communities Fund and Redcar & Cleveland Council.​
